So can't xapi, in its pre-inst check is xend is running. And then
appropriately act.

We gave it another shot today. Freshly installed Wheezy had a terrible
time getting XCP setup on it. My engineer had to refer a lot of random
links over google to set something up.

By quality, this should have been doable through README.Debian, but that
is not the case.

Just like postfix and exim packages, xcp actaully needs a lot of debconf
prompts. Currently it just is a broken installation.
